American Fidelity BDIA

Processing 125 cafeteria benefits is now fast, simple and safe for school districts. American Fidelity Assurance Company (AFA) and PSST have combined their knowledge and talents, resulting in a truly amazing intelligent bi-directional integration application (BDIA).

Employee benefit data is seamlessly and intelligently extracted from MUNIS®, formatted and securely forwarded directly to the agent's laptop where it is combined with corporate information. After the agent and each employee personally review the current benefit information, collectively decide on appropriate changes, updated information is securely passed to the payroll clerk.

The payroll clerk will bring the new information into the AFA – MUNIS BDIA where the new changes are displayed alongside the current MUNIS information. The BDIA electronically reviews the data and highlights deduction changes that might create a problem. Any transaction not aligning properly with the current MUNIS information, including mismatched deduction codes, are brought to the clerk's attention for quick and accurate resolution.

When the review is completed, the changes are imported into MUNIS – no data entry keying required! And, problems are found before payroll, not afterwards.

The American Fidelity BDIA offers a great time-saving feature – Auto Billing Reconciliation. This feature saves districts hours of time as the monthly billing is automatically reconciled by AFA and not the district. Ask your AFA agent about this great, new feature.

The two systems work as one to provide these benefits:

• Improves data accuracy
• Eliminates redundant entry
• Makes time sensitive data available immediately
• Streamlines internal procedures
• Removes isolated "Islands of Information" within the central office
• Reduces monthly reconciliation costs
• Greatly Increases employee and payroll productivity
• Decreases operational costs

The two systems work together to provide these features:

• Moves critical information seamlessly and bi-directionally
• Provides control of the data by viewing and correcting data prior to import
• Validates information against the MUNIS database thereby reducing human error
• Intelligently flags potential areas of concern for quick fixes
• Prepares updated MUNIS information with the push of a button
• Eliminates costly data extracts
• Eliminates transferring FTP files between the systems
